Rebecca “Robbi” Montgomery, A.A., LMT, CFS
Licensed Massage Therapist MA # 13305, Skin Care Specialist
CE9964202, MM4773
For Robbi Montgomery, a passion for understanding the human body began long before her professional career. As a child, she was fascinated by how muscles worked, spending hours observing how movement changed the body. Her natural curiosity continued to grow while her mother attended dental school, where exposure to anatomy, biology, and cellular science sparked a lifelong interest in health and healing.
A pivotal moment came during high school in Germany when her mother suffered a severe sledding accident that resulted in four crushed lumbar vertebrae. During her mother’s recovery, Robbi discovered Trigger Point Therapy through Bonnie Prudden’s groundbreaking work. That experience profoundly shaped her understanding of the healing power of therapeutic touch and inspired her lifelong commitment to massage therapy.
Robbi has been studying massage therapy since 1983. While earning her Associate of Arts degree with an emphasis in biology at Okaloosa-Walton Community College, she worked in both the restaurant and corporate sectors before pursuing her professional training at the Atlanta School of Massage, graduating in 1992.
Later that year, Robbi returned to Fort Walton Beach, where her grandparents had lived for many years, and founded Massage Works. Since opening the practice in October 1992, she has remained dedicated to providing exceptional therapeutic massage and advanced skin care while continually expanding her education and expertise.
Today, Robbi specializes in Medical Massage, Sports Rehabilitation Massage, and Post-Surgical Massage, helping clients reduce pain, restore function, and improve their quality of life through evidence-informed therapeutic care. She believes that every treatment should be tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
In addition to massage therapy, Robbi earned a postgraduate degree in Skin Care Therapy through the International Dermal Institute. Her philosophy is rooted in science rather than trends, focusing on skin health at the cellular level to deliver meaningful, lasting results. She believes that healthy skin is beautiful skin and is committed to providing treatments that support long-term skin wellness.
Robbi also values the power of collaboration and lifelong learning. She has built Massage Works alongside a team of exceptional therapists, fostering
an environment where education, mentorship, and professional growth benefit both practitioners and clients alike.
Outside the treatment room, Robbi enjoys exploring the science of Tai Chi, Chi Gong, cooking, cultivating plants, kayaking, hiking, and cycling. Whether caring for clients or pursuing new knowledge, her passion for learning and helping others continues to guide everything she does.
